It may just be slower because the fluid level inside the reservoir is now lower than full. Did you check the level at all? On the other hand, it may be the fact that the reservoir is overfilled that caused fluid to spill out the quill. Kind of difficult to diagnose.

The fluid was a little low. Should you be able to turn that vent? i turned it a little bit to tighten it. I couldn't tell if it leaked anymore because the snow was already blue there and didn't want to touch it only to get it all over the steering wheel.

Drain the reservoir and remove it.The return pipe's will be sticking straight up and will have a "diffuser" on the end of them (if their still there). Also, judging by the last 2 pics you posted it look's like maybe the ice build up could be restricting the vent.
